Yep. I totally agree. I saw lots of things like this in my career and experienced a few.
I really missed the early days of my career in the early 70s when this shit didnt exist. We all just got to work, performed, and had fun. We werent looking over our shoulders nonstop.
I’ve been there too. Not for anything I ever said, it was implied that I was an undesirable.( Middle aged, white, hetero, conservative)
The dopey broad I ended up with as a manager slowly poisoned the well, by giving me crappy assignments and lousy reviews. I slowly removed my personal effects from my office, and I deliberately burned up all my vacation and PTO before I left. When I quit, I left my badge, cut up corporate CC and laptop computer on the desk in her office on a Friday afternoon after she left for the weekend. Never said a word to anyone, no letter, no nothing.
Felt great to walk out for the last time on my terms not theirs.
